Abstract
A method for the computer-aided recognition of a transport container being empty can comprise: determining one or more than one segment of image data of the transport container using depth information assigned to the image data; assigning the image data to one from a plurality of classes, of which a first class represents the transport container being empty, and a second class represents the transport container being non-empty, wherein the one or more than one segment is not taken into account in the assigning; outputting a signal which represents the filtered image data being assigned to the second class.
